Easiest Way to Root Samsung Android Phones Without a PC

Just today, I decided to restore my Samsung Galaxy SII to factory settings and start all over. Lots of things went wrong with the phone and I thought wiping the thing should be the perfect solution. I did and lost root access. I initially rooted the phone by flashing a rooted stock firmware with ODIN. I decided to try another method out and by far, it’s the simplest way to root most Samsung Android phones with unlocked bootloader. According to the developer, this method works on not just Samsung Galaxy S2 but lots o other phones as well. As a matter of fact, even if it’s not gonna work for you, there’s no harm in trying it out.

I rooted my Samsung Galaxy SII with it and personally tried it on another Samsung Galaxy SIII (both Jellybean). There’s no hassles and even if you’ve never rooted an Android device before, you should be able to do this. Like I said, it may only work if your bootloader is not locked.

If your device isn’t listed, you can still give it a shot anyway but I won’t be held responsible if your device gets bricked. Its mostly compatible with Exynos Samsung devices. It’s also tested working on this Omap devices:

Guys, this worked FLAWLESSLY on my sprint s2 4g epic ics 4.0.4 SPH-D710 I have been searching for a root without pc because I am having usb issues. I tried and tried to fix the issue through samsung but was SOL until I found this blog. Your epic Don, I’m going to follow your blog religiously now 😉 I also have a tip, I bought this s2 on ebay, rooted it with your help and set it up on Ting wireless and now I have a phone bill of $9 a month. If you get talk-a-tone and use it as your primary text/talk and use wifi at home and 3g every where else you kill the monthly contract of the big cell co. heres a link to get us both $25 off. https://z67g4e1b273.ting.com/ Thanks again Don this is killer!

Hey anyone have a update.zip for a epic 4g 4.0.4 SPH-D710 I think I had a little too much fun with this 😉 I really went to town deleting bloat and now my phone freezes after booting (I get to the lock screen and when I try to unlock she freezes and reboots, softbrick anyone lol) I’m not too worried about it I did something similar playing around with my first root on the optimus V and accidently froze the launcher with titanium backup, I ended up dling a update.zip or stock recovery for it straight to sd on another device and then putting that sd in affected phone. Any help guys?

I have unzipped and installed the apk. But when I go to open Framaroot, it comes up with a notification that says “Check Vulnerabilities. Your device seems not vulnerable to exploit included in Framaroot”. The only option for me to press is “Ok”. When I press “Ok”, it just exits the application. May someone please help me out here? Greatest thanks.
